ZK-AWO Douglas
DC-3CS1C3G
(c/n 16732/33480)
This aircraft was a fairly late
model DC-3 having been delivered to the USAAF as C-47B-35-DK
44-77148 in
June of 1945. It passed to the Royal New Zealand Air Force as
NZ3548 and remained
with that arm
until civilianized in 1952 for New Zealand National Airways
Corporation. A nice page
of photographs and a
history of it as both a freighter and also a topdresser can be found at:
